I recently picked up a Dremel Moto Shop Scroll Saw for $2.00 at a yard sale. This is an older unit with a place to attach a sanding wheel or a flexible shaft to the motor directly.
This is obviously a cheap hobbyist tool but I thought it would be good to do some fun projects with my son. I am wondering if anyone has had any experience with one of these.
If so, should I expect to be able to cut through 3/4" pine with it? The reason I ask is because, I did try the other night and it did not seem to be able to even start a cut. Should I just plan on getting some thin balsa sheet if I want to use this thing? Or should it be able to cut 3/4 pine?
Thanks!
